Supreme Court of Alabama November 15, 1897 (Flowers v. Jernigan)

HEAD, J.

We are constrained to hold that the tax deed of the judge of probate to D. W. Jernigan, dated March 31, 1884, purporting to have been executed in pursuance of a sale of the land by the tax collector on the first Monday in April, 1876, for the payment of taxes for the year 1875, was improperly admitted in evidence.
